Recall: Toyota Prius v hybrid

Choose what’s right for you with confidence

The problem

Toyota New Zealand is recalling 177 Toyota Prius v hybrid cars because of a possible fault with their software settings. Toyota says the recall is due to "the current software settings for the motor/generator control ECU and hybrid control ECU which could result in higher thermal stress in certain transistors of the power converter (DC-AC invertor), potentially causing them to become damaged".

Details

The vehicles being recalled were manufactured between September 2010 and November 2014.

What to do

Toyota will trace owners of the cars through registration data and contact them.
